Rolled Egg White Omelet with Wild Mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons salted butter, melted
- 2 teaspoons minced shallot
- Pinch of fresh thyme
- 1/2 cup small chanterelles or sliced wild mushrooms
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 4 large egg whites
- Preheat the broiler; set a rack 5 inches from the heat.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the butter in a medium nonstick ovenproof skillet.
- Add the shallot and thyme and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Add the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper and cook over moderately high heat until tender and lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the egg whites until frothy.
- Season with salt and pepper and beat in the remaining 1 tablespoon of melted butter.
- Pour the beaten whites into the skillet and cook over moderate heat until almost opaque, drawing in the edges of the omelet with a spatula as they set and tilting the pan to allow the uncooked whites to seep underneath, about 40 seconds.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and broil the omelet for about 10 seconds, or until the top is just set.
- Run the spatula around the edge of the omelet to release it.
- Fold one third of the omelet onto itself, then roll it out onto a plate in a neat shape and serve at once.
